Turco García scandal: intimate audio leaked on Gran Hermano

Ex‑footballer Claudio “Turco” García became the focus of a new controversy after an intimate voice message he sent to a woman, described as an alleged lover, was broadcast on the Argentine reality show Gran Hermano 2026. The recording includes the phrase “Dale bonita… quiero hacerte cucharita y después despertarnos y hacerte el amor,” prompting strong reactions from the studio panel.

García confirmed he is separated from Gran Hermano participant Mariela Prieto, whose presence in the house had already generated public interest. He denied any current affair, suggesting the woman could even be his daughter, and thanked his (ex) wife for helping his recovery from addiction.
